[Rebirth] Chronicle of the Two Capitals

Tang Yu did not expect that Tang Dai, who "revenges kindness and revenge", would take the initiative to turn hostility into friendship with her.

"Nuo——" Tang Dai handed a bunch of candied haws to Tang Yi, and twisted her hands behind her back, "I'll eat it for you."

Tang Dai was only four years old, and since he was a child, he was clothed in rich clothes and lived in gold, mountains and silver seas. He never apologized to anyone, and he couldn't hold back his little sister Tang Yu.He thought about it carefully, his aunt often forbids him because he is gluttonous, the more he forbids him, the more he develops the habit of eating sweets, and he regards sweets as the best gift to comfort his younger sister, as if offering a treasure behind his mother's back Take the sweet candied haws to the little sister.

The candied haws were strung together by a slender wooden stick, and the center of gravity in the hand was unstable. Tang Yi held the candied haws vigorously, and said sweetly: "Thank you, Brother Six." Tang Dai came to apologize, and she It can be seen, perhaps influenced by the first impression of her appearance, she is more likely to feel close to the chubby Tang Dai than to the thin monkey-like Tang Yan.

Tang Dai is the eldest son of Xuancheng County King. Not long after his younger sister emerged from the belly of his father's side concubine, he was adopted to the emperor.Tang Yu's "brother" greatly satisfied his desire to be an elder brother. He grinned and sat on the stone steps outside Weiyang Palace. Seeing that his sister couldn't hold the candied haws, he straightened his back and lowered his voice, pretending to be old-fashioned: "Brother will help you, if you want to eat, tell brother."

Before Tang Yu could reply, he snatched the candied haws.Tang Dai wanted to complain to her about how boring, hard and uncomfortable life in the palace was, so he searched his stomach and said, "Do you miss home?"

miss home?Gusu covered in luxuriant vegetation and mist, houses leaking wind, rain, snow, sand, and sand, a father who named his child with a careless mind, and a mother who made old clothes new and worried about the family... Naturally, she was homesick, Tang Yu until Now she still remembers the joyous laughter of her parents when she was just born—it was an experience she had never had in her previous life.No matter how much she misses her, she will probably find it difficult to leave the palace and Yanjing even if she spends her whole life. Gusu has become her hometown that she cannot return to.Tang Xi looked up at the sky divided into squares by the high walls of the palace. She thought to herself, fortunately, since her father recovered his clan status, the life of his parents would be much easier than before.

"Ouch——" The nanny screamed with a bowl of meat porridge, and pulled Tang Yi up with one hand, "It was snowed last night, and the place cleaned by the palace staff was very cold, so you can just sit down. The nurse patted her ashes, and saw that she was holding a wooden stick with half a hawthorn hanging on it, and said in surprise, "Candied haws? Who gave it?"

Half of the hawthorn fell to the ground, and Tang Yu lowered his head to look at the wooden stick: "...Sixth Brother."

Her foodie brother couldn't hold back his greed, if the nanny hadn't come out, he might be tricked into the "cannibal cave" that Aunt called, and even half of the hawthorn would not be left to his sister.Although fat, Sa Yazi slid fast, looking around, as if a big open bowl had two legs, spitting nuclei in his mouth and blowing wind under his feet.

The wet nurse fed her meat porridge, and when the weather was still fine, she led her to walk around the courtyard a few times to digest food.

The courtyard is full of plants and trees, red carps in the pond, rockery and rocks, and secluded paths.Among them is a crabapple tree, the queen always looks at it a few times under the eaves every day, like a kind of sustenance that has nowhere to put it and can only be placed in the scene.

Tang Yu broke away from the nurse's hand, and walked crookedly towards the crabapple tree. He stretched out his arm and pointed at the scratch, and asked the nurse, "Daodao?"

The nurse guessed that she was going to ask about the scratch on the crabapple tree. Although she didn't know if she could understand, she patiently said: "Your deceased fourth brother, His Highness Prince Hong, was close to His Royal Highness, and the mother and child have a deep relationship. At the age of seven, he is fast-moving, with his back leaning against a tree, and wherever his head reaches, he will draw a mark and count it as his body length." After all, the wet nurse is not a palace maid who grew up in Weiyang Palace, and she knows very little about it, so she only uses He gestured to the tree trunk with his hands, and said the obvious things one by one.

Tang Xi bit her finger and nodded, pretending to half understand. She became more and more convinced that the rumors of the Queen's murder of the clan son could not be true, but the poisoning and death of the three princes who were raised in Weiyang Palace did not happen out of thin air. How should I explain it?

Suddenly seeing a slender figure walking on the veranda, Tang Yu jumped up and shouted: "Mother!" Then, like an arrow from the string, he pierced the wind and shot at the queen, sticking to the queen's leg like a pendant, refusing to get up. .Children in their early one year old can walk and run, and they don't want to be restrained by others. They run fast but don't know how to slow down. Fortunately, there are no obstacles around.Seeing that she didn't fall, the queen felt relieved and touched the soft and smooth back of her neck, knowing that she missed her and would not go with others, so she asked the nurse to go back to rest.

"Master Tang, this way please." The Queen held Tang Yu's little palm tightly and said to the man who was half a step behind her.

His heart was full of empresses, and only now did Tang Yu realize that today's guest came—a tall man in his 40s, with a broad face, a high nose and deep eyes, a yellow-brown beard, and a soap scarf on his head. , wearing a dark green cross-collared straight body.

This feeling...is no different from the international friends in Chinese tunic suits holding pens and running calligraphy in the previous TV programs of Chinese and foreign exchanges!

Probably limited by the language, the man seldom talked with the queen, but they all talked about business matters.For one thing, the cure for smallpox has not yet been found on Great Britain Island, and it can only be prevented before it happens; for another thing, the church opened by Emperor Enyun was located near the Donghua Gate in the inner city of Yanjing, in order to thank the Queen for being in front of the imperial court. Good words, a bottle of perfume.

Tang Yu's main job in his previous life was a perfumer, and he knows very well about perfumes.The history of perfume in the previous life can be traced back to ancient Egypt. After the fifteenth century, it became popular in Western Europe and gradually gained a foothold in modern society with a highly open social circle.According to parallel time and space, the Jin Dynasty is now equivalent to the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, which is at the beginning of the seventeenth century. However, Tang Yu is not sure whether there is a delay or an advance of more than ten years, decades or even hundreds of years. After all, she is a little girl in ancient times who has just turned one year old. She can't eagerly grab a man's cuff and ask, "Great Britain? Is it a rotten country? Is there a renaissance? Is there an industrial revolution?"

The man opened the perfume and demonstrated its usage to the queen. The main hall was instantly filled with a strong fragrance. Lonicera and several maidservants were choked by the pungent fragrance and covered their mouths and coughed.Out of etiquette, the empress fluttered her nostrils a few times, but held back for now, but calmly waved her wide sleeves lightly, covering Tang Yu's nose, which was pillowed on her lap, to prevent her from smelling it.Separated by the thin soft gauze, the queen's palm was as warm as a ball of fire. Tang Yu's heart warmed up, and all the "ambergris, musk, jasmine..." that appeared in a row in his mind were cut off, and he just stared blankly. Looking at the queen's creamy skin in the wide sleeves.

Animal tallow fragrance is different from plant fragrance, and the extraction process is complicated and expensive.A man wanted to open a church in the Jin Dynasty to promote the church, so he naturally flattered the emperor. He gave the emperor a chime bell with precise appearance and dexterity, and the queen a perfume that was hard to find on the island, but it backfired.Seeing his embarrassment, the queen said to smooth things over: "It is fragrant and has a long aftertaste. I like this thing very much. Thank you, Mr. Tang, for the gift."

Fragrant fragrance, long aftertaste...

Mother, is this serious?This bottle of perfume is mixed with a lot of tallow fragrance, resulting in a strong and pungent fragrance. It is naturally suitable for Westerners with a large body/smell, but it must not be a blessing for the Central Plains people who have never touched perfume and have a light body/smell.

The Queen's tone was firm and peaceful, Tang Yu looked up at her suspiciously, only to see that her earlobe was dyed red, she was biting her lower lip lightly, and it was very difficult for her to lie.Tang Yu covered his stomach with a smile and almost rolled off the couch, but luckily the queen caught him tight.After receiving a helpless and warning look from the queen, she sat down obediently.

Soon, the man resigned and left.

Tang Xi propped his chin and asked naively, "Big beard?"

The man looks different from the people in the Central Plains, his eyes are as blue as gemstones. The queen knew she was curious, so she said: "The bearded man is called Tang Jili. Two years ago, he came ashore from Haizhou and came to Yanjing after many visits. Your father presented a chime bell as a tribute. The chime bell is more accurate than the two sundials in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Your father liked it, so he gave him the national surname, the word 'Auspicious', which he took by himself. He asked you Your father talked about many western affairs, and wanted to open a church to spread the teachings. Your father discussed with several ministers and decided it was inappropriate, so he was only allowed to be a small official of the Qin Tianjian. After that..." Queen His gaze moved away from Tang Yu's face, and slowly settled on the crabapple tree outside the hall, "Hong'er——your fourth brother suddenly contracted smallpox. I have heard that Western doctors are very similar to our doctors in diagnosis and treatment." No, I mentioned a few words to your father, and your father ordered Tang Jili to find a Western doctor to come and have a look..."

The queen fell into silence when she said this, there was a vague mourning in her eyes, Lian Dong was already covering her sleeves and wiping away her tears as she waited by her side.

Which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted!Tang Yu regretted so much, knelt on the couch, straightened her back and raised her head to look at the queen's shoulders. She put her arms around the queen's delicate neck and said softly: "Mother... There is a son here."

The queen was slightly stunned, and then she laughed uncontrollably, and raised her hand to touch the back of her head: "Well, you are here."

Every winter, the Xirong, a nomadic people adjacent to the northern border of the Jin Dynasty, was ready to move and invade and plunder.In the past, Emperor Yuan Shuo had signed an agreement with Xirong Khan Jibu Chuhe, but the current Khan Amur is like a rascal, full of food and clothing for the winter. And a contract, if the general hurts him in the slightest, he will fall into the injustice of the Jin Dynasty.

When the first emperor came to power, Amur succeeded Khan, and he was still a young eagle and did not dare to act rashly.Now, Amur is in his prime, and he has been in the fertile soil of the Central Plains for a long time. Seeing that Emperor You is young and has no children to bully, he has repeatedly crossed the thunder pool.

Although Emperor Zaiyou was young and frail, how could he be easily bullied after ruling the throne for more than ten years?Amur robs things for the winter, let him rob. The two soldiers meet just to test the strength of Xirong's current troops.If you make up your mind to eradicate them in one fell swoop, you don't have to worry about finding an excuse to go to war. The difficulty is who should be sent to destroy Xirong and gain military prestige.

The nine guards of Kyushu in the Jin Dynasty belonged to the Dingzhou Guard and the Liangzhou Guard with strong horses and strong equipment, a total of 20 people. Unfortunately, the commanders of the two guards were all descendants of the Yan family in Jinling.

May he Yazhang resign from Fengque's iron cavalry to circumnavigate the Dragon City, but also blame him for his high achievements and power.
